The challenge

Bring greater focus and maximise the impact of Microsoft’s programmes in mobile education in developing markets, starting with a pilot in Kenya and Uganda.

 

What we did

Working with NGOs, government, policy makers and academia, we shaped the delivery of Microsoft’s mobile education in Africa

  • Co-creation workshops in Europe and Africa with partners including global NGOs, government, policy makers and academia to define a strategy to improve outcomes for teachers and pupils.

  • Worked with the app development ecosystem to create inventive solutions that could be easily implemented in local markets.

  • Design, content and rollout of  an online ‘playbook’ to engage colleagues in Nokia/Microsoft - context, targets, goals and case studies.

 
 

Outcomes

  • 1 million teachers with measurable improvements in standards.

  • Pilot in Kenya & Uganda rolled out to Mexico, Thailand and India.

  • Cumulative target of 100 million children using mobile education solutions.
